Filmmaker Jordan Allott’s documentary, “Oscar’s Cuba” paints a compelling portrait of Cuban dissident Oscar Elias Biscet, whom Armando Valladares, former Reagan administration Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission and himself a former political prisoner of the Castro dictatorship, cites as the most important living figure in the struggle for Cuban liberty.
In 1998 Doctor Biscet dared to publish a report in which he interviewed many Cuban mothers who testified that their infants had been born alive and then killed by the regime. The totalitarian regime that controls Cuba views problematic pregnancies or unhealthy infants as a threat to their much-touted low infant mortality rates. Cuba has the highest abortion rates in our hemisphere, with 6 in 10 pregnancies ending in abortion. Thanks to Dr Biscet, we now know that many of these abortions were not the choice of the mothers involved, that said abortions were coerced, and indeed that many of these infants were born alive…then terminated. When Dr. Biscet made this issue a matter of public record, he gave the regime a black eye. The regime was not going to let this go unpunished. Dr Biscet continued to speak out for human rights and democracy on the island, and he paid a price for it: in 1998 and 1999 he was arrested more than 20 times.
On March 18, 2003, seven years ago today, Dr Biscet was arrested along with more than 70 other dissidents in what has come to be called “la Primavera Negra,” the Black Spring of 2003. He was sentenced to a 25-year sentence, which he is currently serving in the notorious Combinado del Este prison outside of Havana. Dr. Biscet spends much of his time in solitary confinement, incarcerated in an underground cell. Yet Biscet endures, and continues to defy the regime.

Does Sean Penn know about this?
But but.... all those Hollywood stars say Cuba is a really great place!
The Che and Castro whoreshipping crowd will dismiss this as “right-wing propaganda.” Bet on it!
Oh....without a doubt. *rolls eyes*
I wish they’d move the hell there.
What have you got to say about this, Dan Rather?
“The totalitarian regime that controls Cuba views problematic pregnancies or unhealthy infants as a threat to their much-touted low infant mortality rates.”
I wonder how Michael Moore is taking this news. This is worse than No Child Left Behind. These people aren’t just teaching to the test or lowering standards so that more get a “passing” grade. They literally are erasing wrong answers. Of course, this widespread disregard for human life will not be news to any but the most muddle-headed liberals.
Hollywood stars and the Congressional Black Caucus. The CBC really enjoy hanging out with the Old Bastard and his little pissant brother, El Chino.

That’s because they only visit the “fantasy island” side! They are not aware of the fact that there is another side of the island.
Then they ought to live there.
